        • We Are Different From Everyone Else

          HIIT, Bootcamps, and Other Group Fitness Classes

          • Everyone does [roughly] the same thing
          • Encouragement and instructions, not coaching
          • Results plateau quickly

          We challenge any fitness brand to match or beat our results. Similar price to personal training at a Starting Strength Gym.

          Free Weights at a Large Format Commercial Gym

          • Unsure if form is correct or safe
          • Program is generic, not specific to you
          • No chalk, no platforms
          Lines for racks during peak hours, poor equipment, no coaching, and no programming. Less expensive than a Starting Strength Gym.

          Personal Training that isn't Starting Strength

          • Majority are inexperienced, uninformed coaches
          • Ineffective exercises, reps/set schemes, and loads
          • Results plateau quickly
          We challenge any personal trainer to beat our results. More expensive than personal training at a Starting Strength Gym.
        • Strength: The Meta Adaptation

          The process of getting stronger improves every aspect of your physical health. It has a surprisingly positive effect on mental health too.

           

          As a Starting Strength trainee you will set new personal records three times per week. You will be doing things you didn't know you were capable of, every time you show up to the gym.

           

          As you become stronger you will build lean muscle, increase bone density, reduce low-back pain, improve hormonal regulation, and enhance your day-to-day existence.

        • Starting Strength Gyms: The Most Efficient Way to Get Stronger

          • Join the gym and learn the lifts in an Intro Session
          • Attend your first training session 
          • Track weights and measurements in your digital logbook
          • Follow your coaches programming and instructions
          • Get adequate rest and nutrition outside of the gym
          • Train three days per week
          • Add 10+ pounds of lean mass in 10 weeks*
          *Applies to men ages 18-45. Women should expect 5+ pounds of lean mass. Trainees age 45+ will get stronger, but usually not as quickly.
